I just downloaded and installed the Wordpress appliance, and fired it up for the first time. I get a prompt: "wordpress login:" to which I respond with the information from the appliance's page (http://www.turnkeylinux.org/appliances/wordpress)
Wordpress:
- username admin, password turnkey
- username editor, password turnkey
But when I try either of these, the response is: "Login incorrect"
What to do? Has the information changed?
Thanks!
Forum:
I can't reproduce this
This sounds silly, but are you sure that you (or someone else) didn't change the passwords? Try installing again. Also, more information on your environment might help me guess what could be going wrong. Installation type (physical machine or virtual machine and what type), browser, browser extensions, etc.
Some details...
- Wasted half my life as a Windows developer/evangelist
- Downloaded the WordPress appliance from your site
- Downloaded VirtualBox from Sun
- Configured and started up the VM
- When startup was done, I ended up in a configuration screen. I looked at the settings, everything looked fine, so I quit.
- Then came the wordpress login prompt, and my issue.
- That's it! Brand new install as of this morning. I'm stumped!
PS - as number 1. above indicates, I am a n00b. Thanks for your help!WordPress login or Ubuntu login?
Thank you

Trying to figure out how to avoid confusing newbies
The other day I found a charming meta-screencast by Linux Journal - How to Make a Linux Screencast.
Change the default hostname?
What about changing the default hostname to foo-vm or similar?
Same issue
I'm having the same issue as the original post describes. The appliance is great when using DHCP, it's when assigning it a static IP manually that you get dropped to the "wordpress login:" prompt...and oddly the system does not accept the correct login/password. Any ideas? I had intended to assign the appliance its own IP...
update to login problem
Ok, I figured part out. I was hitting "Alt+A" thinking that was "accept" when setting the ip manually, and it was dropping me out of the config console to a prompt. All you have to do is hit enter. So now I have manual IP working for WP, but I still can't login if I drop out of the console. It's driving me a bit nuts. I'm trying to login as root, but I've also tried admin. I've reinstalled 4 times now, using different passwords, even using very simple passwords, and no joy. Any ideas?
login problem.
Ok, it was all me, I admit it. I don't know how I typo'd on each of those installs, but I must have, because it's all working as it should now. My apologies.
confconsole exiting with ALT+a
I cannot reproduce the issue with the confconsole exiting on ALT+a. When I do the key sequence it produces the dialog "Do you really want to quit". This was implemented back in late december and therefore should be included in the wordpress release.
Could you confirm that the confirmation dialog is not produced. Is an error displayed?
You can relaunch the confconsole by typing confconsole
ALT+a drop to shell
While I'm 90% sure I was simply dropping straight to a prompt, trying it this morning gave me the exit confirmation dialog, so...
Certain things, like the login problems I had probably were exacerbated by the fact the appliance is running on under VMWARE on a Windows box which I'm remoting into from a Mac, and sometimes caps lock gets stuck without visual representation / things get screwy in the translation. So it could be that behavior of the appliance may be influenced by all those steps going on in my setup.
Anyway, thanks for all the work on this appliance; it's a great benefit to the computing public!

Hello, I am a "newbie" and, as such, I would like to know where I can find installation instructions for the Drupal Appliance. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
